I am looking to buy a new player after my ipod broke (have had 3 ipods all of which have died within 2 years for no reason). budget is in the region of £100. so far i have narrowed it down to the Sony NWZ-S639FB 16GB or the SanDisk Sansa View 16GB. Basically can anyone give me advice on which one is better, or if there are other better players for a similar price and with a minimum of 16GB memory?
Help would be eternally appreciated!

The Sony NWZ-S639FB is a good player aswell. Might like its sound more then the Fuze, then again you might not. Its not really that huge of a difference either way, both sound good and thats all that matters.

Personaly I'd still go for the Sony NWZ-S639FB just because I think the Fuze looks abit, conservative ;P Also I have more faith in Sonys build quality over Sandisks. Mainly because I've never had a Sony break, yet I've had almost all my Sansas break, most recently my clip. Ofcourse so far I've gotten them all reimbursed.
Also another thing I value with Sony is that I can take a broken down Sony to a Sony style store and get it repaired(reimbursed actualy) there, with Sandisk I have to send it to wherever I bought it or then to Sandisk HQ. However this is all due to Sony havingmore presence in Finland when compared to Sandisk.

The Fuze has a micro SDHC card slot and will work with a 16 gig card, however there is a 4,000 song limit. This limit will be expanded to 8,000 songs with the next firmware update, hopefully before April.
